Proclaimed by President Jimmy Carter in 1987, Women’s History Week was originally established by The Education Task Force of the Sonoma County Commission on the Status of Women to teach K-12 classrooms about the suffrage movement in the United States. Now known as Women’s History Month, the time is recognized internationally on March 8 for International Women’s Day, a time to highlight women across the world, take action, and pledge gender parity.

During Women’s History Month, The Trevor Project acknowledges that transgender women must also be recognized across the world. Transphobia has become a national crisis, especially for trans women of color. We are still faced with the staggering reality that 41 percent of transgender and gender non-conforming people have attempted suicide. Through TrevorChat and TrevorText, we were able to serve 54 percent of crisis contacts who identified as female and 19 percent of our digital crisis contacts were transgender, genderqueer, or third gender.

We continue to use such platforms as Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, and Instagram to connect with young people, highlight inspiring LGBTQ activists, and talk about the struggles of marginalized groups.In March, we are also raising awareness about Bisexual Resource Center’s Bi+ Health Awareness Month, sharing information about Bi+ activists, Bi+ health disparities, and Bi+ resources, like the Trevor Support Center, BiNetUSA and BRC. According to LGBTmap.org, U.S. Bi+ females experience higher rates of intimate partner violence than gay, lesbian, or straight people, as well as higher rates of poverty and PTSD. In fact, one of the second largest groups we serve on TrevorChat and TrevorText is bisexual. We recognize Bi+ Day of Remembrance on March 11 as a time to remember all Bi+ lives lost, and show all Bi+ folks we are here for them always. We support feminists and Bi+ activists who are fighting for LGBTQ rights each and every day, and we want to remind folks that we support all LGBTQ young people 24/7 on our Lifeline at 1-866-488-7386 and thetrevorproject.org.
